Karen Mason's studio

Our garden open studio in Berkeley is magical, and will be ready for your viewing pleasure Saturday Sept. 27 & 28.

Come join us in the daytime or for a tiptoe through the lit glass plants and glowing mosaics Saturday evening. I will have one large lit photograph too.

Details here

If you missed Family Patterns, there's another opportunity to see it and leave a prayer.

How can a flower have so many perspectives? Shown are brugmansia flowers, known commonly as angel's trumpets. See if you can find all 4 perspectives.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world.

How I Build Botanical Patterns

8/13/2014

0 Comments

 
The design at right is made from the leaves of the sweet potato plant - just 2 separate leaves, pictured below. The folded leaf reminds me of the hearts I made in elementary school where you drew half the heart on a folded paper and cut it out.

The process:  In Photoshop I carefully select the leaf from its background, that is the sometimes tedious part of my work. Then comes the fun part, I build separate patterns individually, and then put the designs into a larger design until it sings to me. And, I kid you not, when I get a good one the angels sing Hallelujah!
